Can I use Displaycal with my Spyder print spectrometer?

[B That Guy]

I inherited a Datacolor Spyder 3 Pro, which has the photo cube and printer reading spectrometer along with the device for calibrating screens. I use displaycal with the latter every month, and it works great. But is there a version, or even another software that allows us to print and create an icc reference file for a particular file?

The spyder software (which no longer activates) would create a profile so you can see what a design would look like from an ink set from a particular color, and switch between profiles so you can see what a print might look like with one one white channel activated, or what it looks like when printed on metal instead of paper (something one of our printers can do).

Or am I missing this built into the displaycal software?

You aren’t.

DisplayCAL has no printer profiling capabilities.

Try contacting Datacolor’s customer support.
